Summer might be over, but Sydney’s schedule isn’t slowing down – with an excellent line-up of theatre lighting up stages across the city, the Sydney Streets series in full swing (taking over Pyrmont’s Harris Street this Saturday) and Cockatoo Island’s Sunset Sessions bringing magical golden-hour music to the harbour.
This weekend will also see the annual All About Women festival take over Sydney Opera House – with a super-inspiring program featuring more than 50 artists, speakers and storytellers.
For the perfect autumn weekend, we’d suggest starting your Saturday at one of the city’s best markets, then heading out on one of these easy day hikes or setting up at one of Sydney’s most delightful beaches.
For a restorative Sunday, start with a swim at one of these magical swimming spots, book a summery lunch at one of our favourite waterfront restaurants, then catch a movie under the stars at one of Sydney’s best outdoor cinemas.
Keen to get out of town? These are our favourite day trips you can take from the city and these are the best spots to camp for a weekend in the open air.
